What:<\/strong> Restaurant Week in Baltimore<\/p>\n

When: <\/strong>August 7-16<\/p>\n

Where:<\/strong> Baltimore<\/p>\n

Why:<\/strong> It seems like every city is jumping on the Restaurant Week<\/strong> bandwagon. But Baltimore, thanks to its traditional regional cuisine and burgeoning dining districts like Fell’s Point and Mount Vernon, is a particularly enticing place for prix fixe fun this August. More than 90 restaurants are on board for this season’s culinary blow out, with three-course dinners going for $30.09 and lunch priced at $20.09.<\/p>\n

Unlike in New York, where finding a Restaurant Week table can be just about impossible, Baltimore’s participating restaurants have plenty of availability, as long as you reserve early. At last check, Cinghiale in Fells Point, which Food & Wine<\/em> praised in 2008 for its excellent wine list, still has weekend tables for 8:00 p.m. and the Mount Vernon classic Sascha’s 527 only recently started taking rezzies.<\/p>\n

Now that you’ve entered blue crab turf, take advantage of what this Mid-Atlantic region does best with the Crab Soup Stakes. Stop by Harborplace Ampitheater, taste cream of crab and vegetable crab soups, and vote for your favorite.<\/p>\n

How to get there:<\/strong> Both Amtrak and BoltBus stop at Baltimore\u2019s Penn Station, at 1515 N. Charles St. Check schedules and fares at amtrak.com<\/a> and boltbus.com<\/a>. Baltimore’s MTA operates a wide reaching bus and rail system that can get you from Penn Station to just about anywhere. Plan your trip at mtamaryland.com.<\/em><\/p>\n
